A Trusted Partner Network (TPN) Assessment is a cybersecurity audit where your ISMS implementation (i.e. management system, physical security, and digital security) and corresponding content handling workflows are benchmarked for conformance with the MPA Content Security Best Practices Common Guidelines by an Accredited TPN Assessor. The assessment process is designed to deliver a comprehensive report to MPA, CDSA, and ACE member studio content owners including Walt Disney Studios, Netflix, Sony Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers and Universal Pictures detailing your ISMS implementation, approach to risk and business continuity management, control implementation and treatment and to detail areas of non-conformance for remediation in the future. The need to comply with the MPA Content Security Best Practices Common Guidelines is voluntary. The TPN Assessment Process is not an accreditation program.

MPA Best Practices: Common Guidelines

The Motion Picture Association (MPA) Content Security Best Practices Common Guidelines (CSBP-CG) is an Information Security Management System (ISMS) framework derived from ISO/IEC 27002-2013 and NIST 800-53.

The framework can be used standalone or in conjunction with other ISMS or risk management regime such as the ISO/IEC 27000 family, ITIL and COBIT.
